Not happy!

The course was in very poor condition especially the greens. There was no driving range as the web site mentioned and finally, the refused to honor the Golfnow price that I had booked.

I expect Golfnow to make this right for me and also update the course information. This was one of the worse courses I have played in several years. I rely on Golfnow to guide me when I’m playing a course I have never played. I trust the Golfnow app but in this case I was totally fooled and disappointed. I would appreciate a response from Golfnow on the issue with this course.

Unbelievable!!

I have played here at least 100 times in the past 8yrs. Booked tee time for 3:38 for 18 holes, arrived

1/2 hour early and was told we could never finish 18 Booked on Tee off and they charged an extra convenience fee which has never happened. !!

Completely overwhelmed if the coarse is full and extremely rude !!! Don’t ever ever have to worry about me showing up again !!!

Nice course for all golfers in all handicaps

The course was in good shape, but the greens and fairways were firm and fast. No rain and lack of water have taken a toll. Pretty flat but has some water. Great short tees for kids and older adults.

Do not get a tee time!

Unbelievable that they would charge a full rate to play.. greens are hard and crusty with no grass!! Fairways are hard with no grass.. and add slow play! They need to space the tee times out.. it they won’t…. Anybody posting that this course is good did not play today!!

Good course for price

Decent track that’s on the cheaper end of the Myrtle courses. Staff is friendly and efficient. Greens look hairy but they certainly roll. Would play again

Beware of Angry aranger

My wife and I played here yesterday. We were confronted by an angry ranger who yelled at us for driving our cart to the tee and off the cart path. The staff on the course are not friendly, the course is in terrible shape and we waited all day. We will never come back. Many better courses in the area, including Beechwood right next door.

A Bit of a Dogtrack!

Course layout was not bad for a budget public course but if you are looking for even a few challenging greens, Azalea Sands may not be for you! Not only were greens flat but they were in rough shape. Many were recently punched even after we inquired over the phone 3 day ahead of our round.

The staff was friendly to our group despite a few grumpy remarks about not wanting to be there. Nice pro shop and cafe. Squirrels were a real nuisance!

Not great

Greens were covered with a weed that made putting untrue. Fairways were so hard the ball rolled 75 yards after landing. It has potential but needs a lot of work. I won't go back.

Sign says

Sign says “ Best greens “… it’s mid April.. so maybe they haven’t had enough warm weather but the greens were like green painted concrete. Rock hard and patchy at best.

Maybe the course will be better in the fall.

I can’t recommend playing here.

Mean Staff

The nicest interaction I had was with the bag drop guys. They were very friendly and nice. The guy Steve inside at the pro-shop that took your money for the round of golf was super rude. He was going to charge me $25 extra because my kid was riding in the cart. Then at the turn he jumps out and yells at me saying that the kids cannot play. I told him they were only putting here and there and they were not playing. He said they were slowing the pace of play. Well the fact that we had to wait at every tee box for the group in front of us tells me otherwise. He could have just said he hated kids and it would have made more sense. I won’t be returning to this dog track anyway’s. The greens were terrible, it looked like green painted dirt with weeds throughout. Good luck staying open!!
